Pembaca Yang Budiman
Kali ini TELE-satelit memberi Penghargaan Inovasi kepada produk yang sebenarnya “berada di sisi lain”. Biasanya TELE-satelit berfokus pada alat penerima dan bukan pemancarnya. Jadi, kenapa berubah? Karena dengan IPTV - TV via Internet – suatu era baru telah mulai terbuka! Mengapa begitu? Mari lihat lebih dekat teknologi penerimaan: tidak peduli apakah penerimaan satelit, penerimaan terestrial atau penerimaan kabel: selalu terdapat dua sisi dari teknologi tersebut – pemancar dan penerima. Tidak peduli apakah sinyal TV dipancarkan secara nirkabel, yaitu, dipancarkan dari satelit atau secara terestrial, atau melalui kabel seperti dalam jaringan TV kabel, setiap saluran harus dipancarkan secara simultan dan kemudian dipilih oleh tuner dalam receiver. Namun prinsip dasar ini tidak demikian pada IPTV: pemancar IPTV hanya mengirim acara tertentu yang diminta oleh receiver di ujung lain. Tidak terdapat tuner lagi! Sekilas tampak tidak masuk akal, namun setelah melihat kedua kalinya Anda menyadari bahwa alat penerima IPTV jauh lebih murah. Alat penerima IPTV adalah receiver tanpa tuner. Beberapa pabrikan bahkan memberi nama “receiver tanpatuner”; komponen lain pada receiver IPTV nyaris sama dengan yang bisa ditemukan dalam setiap receiver satelit, terestrial atau kabel. Receiver tanpa tuner juga berarti sesuatu yang lain: tidak memerlukan antena lagi! Pemilik selalu dibebani dengan biaya pemasangan antena baik berupa piringan satelit maupun antena terestrial. Dengan kabel jaringan, penyedia layanan bertanggung jawab untuk biaya pemasangan kabel coax menuju ke ruang tengah pelanggan. Namun penyedia layanan bisa mendapatkan kembali biaya ini melalui biaya bulanan yang harus dibayar oleh pelanggan untuk layanan kabel. Dengan kata lain, biaya penerimaan selalu dibebankan kepada pemirsa. Pada IPTV biaya ini nyaris sudah tidak ada lagi. Koneksi Internet dipertimbangkan sudah menjadi standar sekarang sebagaimana koneksi ke jaringan listrik. TELEsatelit tidak pernah membahas bagaimana menyalurkan daya ke receiver; sudah sangat jelas! Dan saat ini cukup aman untuk menganggap bahwa setiap pemirsa TV telah memiliki koneksi Internet. Tidak perlu khawatir untuk hal-hal yang sudah jelas. Jika Anda bisa menganggp setiap rumah tangga telah memiliki koneksi Internet, hal ini berarti bahwa IPTV telah menjadi alternatif yang murah untuk menonton TV. Ini juga berlaku untuk penyelenggara siaran yang juga perlu mempertimbanngkan hal ini juga. Diakui, bahwa secara global masih merupakan tahap awal untuk akses Internet kecepatan tinggi, kenyataan bahwa kita masih belum begitu jauh, namun jelas bahwa pengembangan sedang menuju ke arah tersebut. Dengan IPTV maka transmisi saluran serta penerimaan saluran tersebut sangatlah murah sehingga setiap orang secara potensial bisa menjadi pengelola siaran. Kebebasan tanpa akhir yang diberikan oleh TV satelit sejak beberapa dekade lalu sekarang telah diulangi lagi oleh era IPTV dengan kebebasan tanpa akhir yang tersedia bagi penyedia siaran: setiap orang bisa menjadi pengelola siaran dan mereka bisa memancarkannya sebanyak saluran yang diinginkan. Tidak ada lagi pembatasan!

IPTV Gateway

NetUp DVB-IP Gateway 4x
Sekarang Anda juga bisa Menjadi Pengelola TV!

0.98

Hingga beberapa tahun lalu TV via Internet atau Ethernet masih jauh dari imaginasi kita. Sekarang, bagaimanapun, kabel serat optik berkapasitas tinggi dan kemunculan koneksi broadband langsung ke ruang keluarga telah menjadi kenyataan. IPTV merupakan salah satu pilihan dari sekian banyak dan saat ini bersaing dengan televisi satelit dan kabel. Pernahkah Anda berpikir tentang bagaimana sebenarnya isi siaran didistribusikan via IPTV?
Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut kami mencari DVB-IP Gateway yang ditawarkan oleh NetUP, yang merupakan sistem ideal untuk sistem kecil seperti hotel atau rumah sakit, juga untuk pengguna pribadi atau siapa saja, yang ingin menyalurkan siaran TV melalui Internet. NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x adalah produk profesional, yang berarti seluruh teknologi dipaket dalam kemasan 19-inci. Tambahannya, seluruh antarmuka koneksi penting terletak di panel depan dan belakang, yang merupakan petunjuk jelas bahwa gateway tidak untuk diletakkan di samping TV, tetapi harus dipasang pada lemari server khusus atau rak profesional 19-inci. Di panel depan bisa ditemukan layar LCD duabaris yang menunjukkan mode operasi dan menyediakan bantuan untuk instalasi antarmuka jaringan. Terdapat enam antarmuka seperti ini, masing-masing bisa dipasang tersendiri. Selain koneksi ini terdapat 10 LED dan lima tombol untuk mengendalikan unit ini secara langsung. Selain antarmuka jaringan yang telah disebutkan di atas terdapat juga dua terminal USB untuk media penyimpan eksternal dan terminal RS-232 menempatkan informasi status pada konsol eksternal. Empat masukan IF satelit menonjol ketika kita melihat ke panel belakang. Masukan ini diperlukan untuk menerima sinyal untuk pemrosesan selanjutnya.

NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x Sempurna mudah digunakan, digabungkan dengan Teknologi terpercaya – ideal untuk Provider IPTV

Karena kita sedang membicarakan perangkat profesional, setiap masukan tuner dilengkapi dengan rongga Common Interface tersendiri. Hal ini berarti sejumlah maksimum empat modul CI bisa digunakan untuk gateway ini, yang juga hadir dengan saklar catudaya mekanis. Semua komponen menunjukkan kualitas pembuatan yang luar biasa, dengan unit catudaya terpasang, jauh meninggalkan para pesaingnya. Modulator hadir dengan 2 GB memori flash dan hard disk 1 TB. Penggunaan profesional

dalam banyak kasus berarti penggunaan permanen, maka sejumlah kipas internal akan memberikan aliran udara segar. Tanpa kipas ini, banyak komponen sensitif akan mengalami resiko kelebihan panas, yang bisa menyebabkan kerusakan. Di sini juga, lebih dari bukti bahwa gateway ini tidak dirancang untuk penggunaan di ruang keluarga, karena kipasnya menimbulkan suara yang setara dengan vacuum cleaner standar. Menonton TV di samping gateway sangatlah tidak memungkinkan – tetapi seperti telah diungkapkan sebelumnya, gateway ini harus diletakkan pada ruang server khusus, di mana kipas bisa befungsi sebagaimana mestinya. Pabrikan mengirim sistem ini lengkap dengan asesoris pemasangan sehingga perangkat ini bisa dipasang pada rak standar 19-inci atau lemari server. Buku pedoman yang disertakan dengan gateway ini dirancang dengan ringkas dan bisa menjawab segala pertanyaan yang mungkin muncul. Sebelum bisa mengakses gateway ini untuk pertama kalinya, koneksi jaringan harus dipasang terlebih dahulu. Hingga tahap ini salah

satu dari enam antarmuka jaringan dihubungkan, baik langsung ke komputer atau ke router, dan diberikan alamat IP. Lima tombol di panel depan mulai berperanan di sini, serta layar LCD. Secara teori, Anda bisa memberi alamat IP untuk keseluruhan tiga antarmuka jaringan secara langsung pada unit ini; untuk memudahkan kami merekomendasikan untuk memulai dengan satu terminal dan menangani sisa limanya melalui antarmuka web yang akan tersedia setelah terminal yang pertama telah terpasang. Dengan cara ini semua pengaturan bisa dilakukan melalui browser web komputer. Segera setelah alamat IP pertama telah diberikan pada gateway, yang perlu Anda lakukan hanyalah mengisi alamat ini di alamat browser untuk mengakses web server terpasang. Anda harus mengisi nama dan password yang tepat, yang telah dipasang pada nilai standar sejak awal. Kami sangat menganjurkan untuk membuat nama dan password sendiri untuk memastikan gateway terlindungi dari akses yang tidak diinginkan. Antarmuka web sangatlah mudah digunakan dan mirip dengan MS Windows – maka akan mudah dikenali. Pada menu utama terdapat lima pilihan (File, IPTV, Administrasi Sistem, Konfigurasi Sistem dan Status Sistem), dengan gambar konfigurasi dan administrasi, tentu saja. Dengan bantuan antarmuka web terpasang, semua enam terminal jaringan bisa ditangani secara terpisah, dan penggunaan data untuk sertiap terminal juga bisa didapatkan. Dalam hal Anda berpikir kenapa tersedia sejumlah enam terminal Ethernet, ketika satu terminal saja sudah bisa, jawabannya cukup sederhana: dengan beberapa terminal Ethernet dimungkinkan untuk menyalurkan saluran pada level yang berbeda, yang berarti bahwa satu level akan

dan alat teknis lainnya – tidak tersedia, karena alat ini adalah perangkat profesional dengan fokus pada aplikasi yang berbeda. Dengan menggunakan NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x dimungkinkan untuk mengatur parameter LOF untuk masing-masing tuner, serta menentukan konfigurasi DiSEqC 1.0 dan mengaktifkan sinyal 22 kHz. Tambahannya Anda

Segera setelah gateway tersebut mendeteksi transponder aktif berdasarkan parameter yang disediakan, lima balok hijau (untuk sinyal, carrier, FEC, sync dan lock) muncul.

Sehingga dimungkinkan untuk membuat hingga enam paket saluran yang berbeda, yang semuanya bisa diterima dan diproses oleh gateway yang sama, tetapi bisa membuat saluran yang berbeda secara lengkap dan bisa disalurkan, dipasarkan atau dijual tersendiri. Tambahannya, setiap adaptor jaringan bisa diberikan alamat IP berbeda sehingga beberapa level tersedia dalam arsitektur jaringan yang sama. Akhirnya, terdapat juga pertanyaan tentang bandwidth karena kandungan definisi-tinggi akan didistribusikan pada lebih dari satu koneksi. Peranti uji kami hadir dengan empat tuner DVB-S2, yang berarti kami bisa untuk menerima, memroses dan menyalurkan sinyal satelit. Bergantung pada spesifikasi konsumen, bagaimanapun, NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x juga akan bisa menerima sinyal DVB-T, DVB-C dan analog, dengan modul penerimaan bisa ditukar seperti pada komponen perangkat keras Plug&Play. Pabrikan saat ini sedang mengerjakan untuk penerapan fitur ini, karena hingga saat ini hanya tuner satelit yang tersedia. Masing-masing dari empat tuner DVB-S2 bisa diatur dan

Selanjutnya adalah pemilihan saluran. Setelah tuner mengidentifikasi dan mengunci sinyal, satu menu khusus digunakan untuk menampilkan isi transponder yang lengkap. Setiap saluran yang terdeteksi (tidak peduli TV atau radio) ditampilkan dengan seluruh spesifikasi teknisnya (PID audio dan PID video). Jika lebih dari satu PID yang tersedia (misalnya terdapat beberapa track audio) Anda bisa menentukan PID mana yang akan disalurkan. Selanjutnya perlu ditentukan alamat IP multicast, terminal dan salah satu dari enam antarmuka Ethernet pada setiap saluran yang dipilih. Yang juga mungkin secara sempurna adalah bahwa satu saluran bisa ditentukan untuk lebih dari satu antarmuka Ethernet dan multicast atau terminal, untuk bisa menyalurkannya pada beberapa level. Perlu kami sampaikan bahwa NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x mampu menangani data EPG dari saluran yang diterima, yang diteruskan ke middleware untuk pemrosesan lebih lanjut dan dengan cara ini disediakan untuk receiver IPTV.

Dalam pengaturan pengujian kami, kami memilih untuk mengirim sinyal dari empat satelit ke gateway. Secara rinci, sinyal tersebut datang dari transponder berikut ini: BBC di ASTRA 28,8° BT, MBC di NILESAT 7° BB, ORF di ASTRA 19,2° BT dan transponder keempat dari TURKSAT di 42° BT. Bahkan memaksa tuner pada ambang abatasnya dengan sinyal yang agak lemah dari ABS1 di 75° BT, kesemua empat tuner berhasil mendapatkan video dan audio tanpa kendala. Kami tidak ingin meminta yang lebih lagi! Secara keseluruh kami mendapatkan 32 saluran TV yang dibundel dalam satu multicast dengan alamat IP 224.200.200.201. Kami juga mengisi nilai terminal dengan 1234, misalnya, dan menyalurkan masing-masing saluran dengan alamat IP terpisah misalnya 224.200.200.202, 224.200.200.203 dan seterusnya. Di bagian penerimaan kami menggunakan AzBox Ultra HD (lihat laporan uji dalam TELEsatelit edisi 08-09/2010), yang saat ini merupakan salah satu receiver yang mampu memroses IPTV selain DVBS2. Pengaturan AzBox untuk menerima saluran dari jaringan IPTV sendiri sangat mudah dan kami berhasil berpindah saluran di antara daftar 32 saluran. Tentu saja tidak ada untungnya dalam membuat jaringan IPTV untuk satu receiver klien, untuk itulah kami memperluas instalasi kami untuk menyertakan beberapa komputer di kantor editor kami untuk akses IPTV. Peranti lunak pemutar VLC (tersedia di www.videolan. org untuk berbagai sistem operasi) telah menjadi solusi handal untuk penerimaan IPTV di komputer, dan betapapun kerasnya kami

berusaha, tidak ada cara untuk membuat gateway ini melemah. Kenyataannya, tidak ada jeda sedikit pun. Hal ini berarti kami harus merencanakan pengujian yang akan memberi gateway waktu yang berat. Bagaimana dengan memancarkan TV British kepada rekan di Thailand via IPTV? Kami mulai melakukan pengaturan koneksi VPN menggunakan dua router Netgear VPN pada kedua ujung sebelum menyalakan IPTV gateway. Hanya perlu waktu beberapa detik sebelum rekan kami menghubungi di Skype memberitahu bahwa usaha kami telah berhasil.

Kami harus mengatakan pada tahap ini bahwa kami memiliki akses Internet yang sangat cepat di kantor kami, yang menawarkan kecepatan upload hingga 20 MBit/s. Jika kurang dari ini maka tidak akan memadai untuk siaran definisi-tinggi. Pada segala kecepatan, rekan kami di Thailand mendapatkan kualitas audio dan video serta kecepatan berpindah saluran pada paket IPTV yang kami kirim kepadanya. Dengan adanya dukungan DVB-S2 maka gateway ini tidak saja mampu untuk menerima dan menyalurkan SDTV, tetapi juga HDTV MPEG4/H.264. Kami tidak mendapatkan masalah ketika memutar siaran HDTV

Kesan keseluruhan dari NetUP DVB-IP gateway lebih lanjut dilengkapi oleh sejumlah pilihan routing, hard disk 1 TB yang terpasang serta fitur

lunak

Yang diperlukan adalah mengunduh firmware terbaru dari situs pabrikan dan dan memasukkannya ke dalam NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x via jaringan menggunakan FTP. Akan segera muncul di menu pembaruan, lengkap dengan nomor versi, dan bisa diinstal dengan klik yang mudah. Kesemua enam terminal adalah kompatibel dengan LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit, yang berarti terminal ini mendukung arus maksimum yang secara teknis layak. Gateway itu sendiri mampu untuk memroses secara simultan hingga empat transponder dengan keseluruhan bandwidth hingga 240 MB/s. Dengan ukurannya 430x44x411 dapat masuk dengan tepat dalam rak standar 19-inci atau lemari server, dan dengan bobot 11,5 kg (terutama karena unit catu-dayanya yang highend). Seperti yang Anda harapkan dari perangkat profesional, gateway secara otomatis reboot jika terjadi kegagalan listrik dan kembali ke mode operasi yang terakhir digunakan. Voltase dari 90 hingga 240 VAC dan 47 hingga 63 Hz bisa ditangani oleh unit catu-daya, yang memungkinkan gateway digunakan secara global. Ketika dijalankan NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x memerlukan daya sekitar 100 W. Ketika NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x merupakan salah

satu dari sekian banyak komponen yang menjadikan jaringan lengkap IPTV, tentu saja bisa digunakan untuk alat ini sendiri, seperti yang kami lakukan dalam pengujian ini. Alat ini bertugas untuk memroses dan mengkonversi sinyal DVB menjadi format yang kompatibel dengan IPTV dan melayani antarmuka antara masukan sinyal DVB dan jaringan IPTV. Receiver klien, di lain pihak, dengan mudah beralih saluran dan paket menggunakan alamat IP dan terminal yang berbeda. Dengan pendekatan ini maka gateway akan bertindak sebagai backbone yang menyalurkan sinyal ke beberapa monitor di dalam gedung, dan – biasanya – untuk menyalurkan sinyal satelit, kabel atau terestrial via jaringan atau Internet. Masih perlu dilihat apakah kami bisa diizinkan untuk menghentikan pengujian gateway, karena rekan kami di Thailand sepertinya telah kecanduan dengan BBC untuk saat ini. Dia menentang kami menghentikan pengujian, karena saluran BBC yang bisa diterimanya pada saat ini tidak tersedia di Thailand. Dalam banyak kasus, bagaimanapun, DVB-IP gateway akan digunakan sebagai komponen terpadu dalam jaringan IPTV yang lebih rumit. Untuk tahap ini gateway dihubungkan ke middleware yang menciptakan grafik OSD khas provider dan menghadirkan saluran yang diproses oleh

gateway dalam desain yang mudah digunakan dan tampilan yang menarik. Operator bisa juga menambahkan VOD (video on demand), tagihan atau fitur khusus untuk konsumen, yang membuat jaringan IPTV ini merupakan sistem yang sempurna untuk hotel, rumah sakit, bangunan apartemen atau aplikasi untuk bidang yang serupa. Perlu kami tambahkan pada tahap ini bahwa NetUP tidak saja menawarkan gateway-nya sebagai komponen tunggal, tetapi juga sistem IPTV lengkap. Yang mencakup middleware yang bersesuaian dan VOD, selain dari gateway sebagai inti dari jaringan. IPTV Combine 4x adalah salah satu dari sistem ini, dan di sini kami bisa mengatakan dengan yakin bahwa pabrikan tidak saja menawarkan solusi setengahhati: Baik DVB-IP Gateway 4x maupun IPTV Combine 4x dengan middleware terpasang berlandaskan pada perangkat keras yang

sama. Sehingga jika klien telah mengoperasikan DVB-IP Gateway 4x dan memerlukan pembaruan sistemnya menjadi IPTV Combine 4x dengan middleware terpasang dan layanan VOD, maka yang perlu dilakukannya hanyalah membeli peranti lunak untuk membuka kunci seluruh fitur pada Combine 4x tanpa harus mengganti komponen perangkat keras. Pilihan pembaruan ini juga menjadi salah satu alasan kenapa setiap DVB-IP Gateway 4x dipasarkan dengan hard disk sebesar 1 TB untuk pertama kalinya. Kapasitas penuh ini hanya diperlukan jika gateway diubah menjadi IPTV Combine 4x dengan VOD, jika hard disk dipenuhi dengan kandungan untuk pengguna yang ingin menonton kapan saja mereka inginkan. Kami percaya bahwa Anda bisa mendapatkan dari apa yang telah Anda baca sejauh ini bahwa kami benar-benar terkesan dengan DVB-IP Gateway 4x selama pengujian kami. Kualitas yang luar

biasa dan sempurna mudah digunakan merupakan ciriciri utamanya. Ketika Anda memiliki buku pedoman yang lengkap dan ditulis dengan baik setiap saat, dimungkinkan juga untuk pengaturan dan menjalankan sistem tanpa bantuannya. Biasanya, rincian teknis dan petunjuk bermanfaat hanya bisa ditemukan dalam dokumentasi tertulis. NetUP menggunakan tuner dengan threshold yang sangat rendah yang

menyalurkan sinyal yang stabil bahkan jauh di bawah kondisi penerimaan yang sempurna. Dengan adanya sejumlah enam terminal Ethernet sinyal keluaran bisa dengan bebas dikonfigurasi dan didistriusikan pada level yang berbeda. Sorotan lain tersembunyi dibalik fitur pembaruan yang leluasa yang dengan mudah mengubah gateway menjadi IPTV Combine 4x dengan middleware terpasang dan VOD.

10-1 1/2010

Membalik Antena Anda

Bagi yang tinggal di garis lintang rendah atau menengah cenderung untuk berpikir bahwa antena offset selalu memiliki lengan penopang LNB pada posisi di bawah reflektor. Namun apakah ini menjadi keharusan untuk memasang antena dengan cara ini? Bagaimana jika menempatkan lengan tersebut di atas antena? Baiklah, tidak ada undang-undang yang melarangnya, namun untuk alasan kepraktisan, ini lebih baik jika untuk satelit dengan elevasi rendah (di bawah 30°). Alasan kepraktisan ini menjaga reflektor severtikal mungkin untuk mencegah hujan, salju dan debu tertampung.
■ Antena SVEC dipasang terbalik:
tiang yang unik dari SVEC memungkinkan antena dipasang terbalik. Ini disarankan untuk wilayah yang memiliki sudut elevasi satelit antara 0 hingga 40 derajat. Kegunaan lain adalah pada situasi tertentu, misalnya pada balkon yang sudah penuh, meletakkan lengan di atas reflektor mungkin merupakan solusi dibandingkan dengan memasang lengan di bagian bawah reflektor yang tidak akan muat.

24 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-1 1/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com

Antena offset menerima sinyal satelit tidak tegak lurus datang pada permukaan pemantul, tetapi pada sudut sekitar 25°. Hal ini berarti bahwa untuk menerima satelit dengan elevasi 25°, reflektor harus ditempatkan vertikal. Jika elevasinya lebih rendah, reflektor harus miring menghadap ke bumi yang akan terlihat seperti ada yang salah pada antena tersebut. Kenapa tidak memutar sebaliknya dan posisi lengan penopang LNB berada di atas reflektor? Inilah yang benar-benar dilakukan oleh SVEC pada antena offset barunya SK60PWT19 berukuran 60 cm untuk Ku-Band! SVEC mengirimkan kepada kami kotak karton berisi dua set SK60-PWT19. Semua dalam kondisi sempurna. Kami gembira mendapatkan bahwa antena ini hadir dengan gambar perakitan dan daftar material yang sangat membantu dalam proses perakitan. Setiap bagian komponen sangat bagus finishingnya dan sesuai dengan komponen lain tanpa masalah. Perakitan sangat menyenangkan. Jika Anda telah memiliki tiang vertikal untuk pemasangan antena, yang perlu Anda gunakan adalah kunci pas 10 mm dan obeng Phillips. Karena kenyataan bahwa pengaturan kedua sudut azimuth dan elevasi masingmasing bergantung pada dua sekrup, sangatlah mudah untuk memutar dan memiringkan antena dengan halus. SK60-PWT19 tidak akan melorot dari tiang jika Anda mengendurkan terlalu banyak 2 sekrup pada penjepit tiang. Terdapat sekrup panjang lain yang menembus bagian atas penjepit tiang dan antena akan tertopang oleh sekrup ini. Sekrup ini adalah axis

untuk pengaturan elevasi. Dalam beberapa kasus, ini bisa menjadi kerugian karena antena harus terletak di atas tiang. Sehingga jika Anda merencanakan untuk menggunakan tiang yang sama untuk antena satelit dan antena terestrial, Anda harus berpikir lagi. Biasanya, antena satelit dipasang di bawah dan antena yagi terestrial di atas untuk mengurangi pengaruh angin pada tiang. Pedoman perakitan yang menyertai antena menunjukkan dua cara perakitan: cara biasa dengan lengan LNB di bawah reflektor (rentang elevasi 30-90°) dan cara terbalik dengan lengan di atas reflektor (rentang elevasi 0-40°). Anda bisa melihat kedua varian ini di foto. Mount “terbalik” tampak agak aneh, namun semuanya bekerja baik dengan asumsi elevasi satelit Anda pada rentang 0-40°. Masih lebih masuk akal untuk menggunakan cara tradisional untuk satelit antara 30-40° karena reflektor lebih vertikal – sehingga lebih rendah resikonya dalam pengumpulan hujan, salju atau debu. Akan tetapi, jika Anda suka membuat bingung tetangga, mount terbalik bisa menjadi pilihan. SVEC memberikan lebih dari antena yang lengkap. Terdapat tambahan tiang bengkok beserta kakinya yang bisa Anda gunakan untuk memasang rakitan di dinding, atau di atap. Hal menarik adalah: tidak memerlukan permukaan vertikal atau horizontal. Anda memiliki pengaturan yang halus antara 0 hingga 90° sehingga Anda bisa menggunakan apa saja yang cukup kokoh sebagai landasan bagi antena ini. Dalam pengujian kami menggunakan tiang yang sudah ada. Pertama-tama kami mengukur antena offset 28 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-1 1/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com

TEST REPORT

Meter Sinyal DVB-S2

Semudah menggunakan pendahulunya

Horizon HD-S2 Meter Sinyal Satelit
HOR IZON HD- S2 Sangat mudah digunak an dengan daftar fitur yang luar biasa bag i profesional

10-1 1/2010

Peranti HD-S2 merupakan penerus HDSM USB PLUS – alat meter sinyal satelit yang telah ditampilkan dalam TELE-satelit edisi 10-11/2007. Pada saat itu alat meter tersebut tidak kompatibel dengan DVB-S2. Namun sekarang tentu saja bisa! Akan tetapi bukan ini saja perkembangan yang telah diperkenalkan Horizon dalam alat meter baru ini. Kami akan mengungkapkannya nanti dalam laporan, tetapi pertama-tama kami akan menekankan bahwa ciri khas penting pada alat meter ini – yaitu mudah digunakan, telah dipertahankan. Kami bisa mengulangi judul laporan saat kami menjelaskan pendahulunya: “bahkan bagi pemula bisa menggunakannya”. Masih saja benar!
Seperti halnya semua alat meter Horizon lainnya, ketika HD-S2 dikirim, bateri internalnya perlu dicas sekitar 8 jam. Catu-daya telah terpasang sehingga Anda hanya perlu menghubungkan kabel listrik untuk mengisi bateri internal. Anda juga bisa menggunakan kabel cas DC mobil untuk menambah cas. Jika telah terisi penuh, bateri ini bisa melayani lebih dari 8 jam. Hal ini dimungkinkan karena penggunaan bateri modern Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po). Bateri ini bisa diakses melalui pintu flap di bagian bawah alat meter, sehingga dimungkinkan untuk menggantinya atau dilepas jika Anda tidak akan menggunakan HD-S2 untuk waktu lama. Pada panel depan terdapat dua konektor F, layar LCD dengan lampu latar dan empat tombol. Terdapat penutup plastik terpasang di panel depan. Alat meter ini terlindungi dari hujan ketika digunakan di lapangan. Keluaran konektor F yang mungkin tidak akan sering digunakan dilindungi dengan penutup karet. Hujan tidak

berkesempatan untuk masuk ke dalam instrumen ini. “Lapis Pelindung” lain terhadap lingkungan yang kurang bersahabat adalah tas pembawa nilon. Yang memiliki kantung praktis di sisinya dan pedoman mulai-cepat di bagian dalam flap. Bukaan Velcro mengizinkan Anda untuk menghubungkan kabel tanpa harus mengeluarkan alat meter dari tas. Gantungan leher bisa diatur panjangnya memberikan keleluasaan bagi kedua tangan Anda untuk menangani antena satelit.

Penggunaan
Jika Anda telah terbiasa dengan tipe lain alat meter Horizon – yaitu satelit, kabel atau terestrial, Anda benarbenar tidak memerlukan waktu lama untuk mengetahui

34 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-1 1/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com

bagaimana mengoperasikan HD-S2 yang baru ini. Tombol panah atas membawa Anda ke Menu Pengaturan dan tombol panah bawah menuju ke operasi biasa. Tombol Atas/Bawah digunakan untuk menjelajahi menu dan yang Kiri/Kanan untuk memilih pilihan/nilai pada menu tertentu. Terdapat 12 bagian dalam Menu Pengaturan: Backlight (on/ off), Clicking (on/off), Brightness (0...15), Contrast (0...50), Sleep (1...30 menit atau selalu on), Bahasa (Inggris, Perancis, Indonesia, Spanyol, Italia, Jerman, Belanda, Polandia, Swedia, Denmark, Norwegia, Kroasia), satuan daya RF (dBµV/ dBm/dBmV), voltase LNB (nol atau 13/18V), Defaults, Azimuth (Mag/True), versi Firmware dan daftar kota di Eropa. Komponen yang terakhir memerlukan penjelasan. Horizon HD-S2 bisa menghitung elevasi

dan azimuth antena parabola untuk satelit yang diberikan. Untuk bisa menggunakannya, Anda harus memilih lokasi Anda. Pilihan dalam menu “Eur Cities” menunjukkan bahwa wilayah pencarian telah dimuat. Pilih kota yang dekat dengan Lokasi Anda

akan mempercepat proses ini. Bergantung pada pilihan Anda, azimuth antena parabola akan dihitung berdasarkan geografis atau sudut magnetik. Jika semuanya diatur dengan baik sesuai keinginan, kita bisa keluar dari Menu Pengaturan

dengan mematikan alat meter ini. Sekarang kita bisa menghubungkan keluaran LNB ke konektor INPUT pada panel depan HD-S2 dan menyalakan alat meter dengan tombol panah bawah. Setelah layar sambutan, alat meter menampilkan layar pencarian sinyal. Di bagian atas, terdapat nama satelit dan di bawah terdapat batangan kekuatan sinyal dan nilai daya saluran dalam dBµV (atau satuan lain yang telah dipasang dalam Menu Pengaturan). Dengan tombol panah Kiri/ Kanan, Anda bisa mengubah satelit dan setelah satelit yang Anda inginkan ditampilkan, inilah saatnya untuk memutar antena. Ketika menggerakkan antena, Anda tidak perlu melihat ke tampilan HD-S2 karena alat ini mengeluarkan suara bip. Tinggi nada dan kecepatan pengulangan akan berubah sesuai dengan kekuatan sinyal. Sangat mudah untuk mendeteksi posisi antena yang tepat hanya dengan mendengar. Segera setelah alat meter mengunci sinyal yang diterima, simbol gembok ditampilkan di layar dan batangan tambahan ditampilkan. Menunjukkan Modulation Error Ratio (MER). Nilainya dalam dB ditunjukkan di bawah batangan. MER diukur

36 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-1 1/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com

Tambahannya, LCD membaca frekuensi sinyal, simbol rate, modulasi, FEC, IQ swap dan keberadaan pilot (DVB-S2). Daftar asal HD-S2 untuk unit pengujian kami mengandungi 20 transponder dari 13 satelit Eropa paling populer. Unit yang dikirim ke wilayah lain tentu saja akan memuat satelit yang bersesuaian. Situs Horizon di www.horizonhge.com terdapat halaman pengunduhan untuk HD-S2, dari sana nanti bisa diunduh daftar untuk negara tertentu. Akan tetapi, jika Anda tidak suka dengan daftar tersebut, Anda juga bisa membuat sendiri daftar yang diinginkan. Terdapat empat transponder DVB-S dan empat transponder DVB-S2 yang bisa diprogram pengguna. Transponder ini bisa diakses dalam menu Customize. Anda mendefinisikan seluruh parameter yang diperlukan: frekuensi LOF, sinyal 22 kHz, frekuensi transponder, simbol rate, FEC (bisa dibiarkan = Auto), voltase LNB, IQ swap dan pilot (hanya untuk DVB-S2; bisa dibiarkan sebagai Auto). Fitur penting pada alat meter ini adalah kemampuan untuk mengirim perintah DiSEqC. HD-S2 ini kompatibel dengan DiSEqC 1.0 dan 1.1. Dalam meu terpisah, Anda bisa memilih satu dari 2 satelit, satu dari 4 satelit atau satu dari 16 satelit. Lebih lanjut, Horizon HD-S2 bisa mengirim perintah yang sesuai untuk menggerakkan sistem dual horn sehingga Anda bisa memilih tidak saja salah satu dari 2 satelit tetapi juga subband dan polarisasi. Sayangnya, Anda tidak bisa menggunakan HD-S2 untuk mengendalikan motor DiSEqC. Jika Anda berpikir bahwa segalanya bisa dilakukan oleh HD-S2, Anda salah. Misalnya, alat ini memiliki menu khusus untuk menguji layanan Internetvia-Satelit Astra2Connect yang mencari transponder yang ditetapkan untuk layanan ini. Suatu fungsi lain yang tidak biasa adalah pengukuran drift LNB yang bisa digunakan misalnya untuk memeriksa 37

dengan resolusi 0,1 dB yaitu lebih dari cukup untuk mengarahkan antena secara tepat. Akan tetapi, Horizon melakukan satu langkah lagi. Setelah menekan tombol panah bawah, kita bisa melihat tampilan yang diperbesar untuk kekuatan sinyal dan MER. Pembacaan lebih sensitif untuk mengubah posisi antena daripada sebelumnya. Menekan sekali lagi panah bawah dan kita bisa melihat Bit

Error Rate (BER) untuk sinyal DVB-S atau Derived Bit Error Rate (DER) untuk DVB-S2. Jika ini masih belum cukup, kita bisa meninggalkan layar pencarian sinyal (dengan tombol panah atas), dan memilih komponen Spektrum dalam Menu Utama. Horizon HD-S2 selanjutnya akan menunjukkan bagian spektrum dengan saluran yang diuji pada tengah layar. Di atas spektrum terdapat sejumlah parameter: frekuensi tengah, span

frekuensi, polarisasi LNB dan keberadaan sinyal 22 kHz. Pada kondisi level sinyal rendah, kita harus menggunakan komponen menu berdekatan: Spektrum dengan simbol kaca pembesar. Komponen menu menarik lainnya yang bisa kita tinjau adalah Diagram Bintang. Seperti yang diharapkan, menu ini menampilkan diagram sinyal bintang (QPSK, 8PSK atau APSK – bergantung pada sinyal).

apakah drift LOF adalah alasan untuk kehilangan sinyal pada sistem penerimaan. Lebih lanjut, HD-S2 bahkan bisa menguji LNB/kabel untuk sirkuit pendek/ terbuka. Terakhir, alat ini bisa mencatat hasil pengukuran dalam memori internal. Menggunakan aplikasi Log Reader untuk Komputer yang bisa diunduh dari situs Horizon, Anda bisa melihat hasil yang disimpan serta memindahkannya dari HD-S2 ke komputer Anda dalam file format ASCII. Fungsi yang lebih eksotis seperti pengujian keluaran SCR dan fungsi Histogram akan tersedia melalui pengunduhan dari situs Horizon. Program ini akan memperluas fleksibilitas alat meter ini untuk spesialis sejati. LNB dengan catu daya 21 V diperlukan untuk SCR (Single Cable Router) dan HD-S2 tidak bermasalah dengan hal ini. Alat ini memiliki menu khusus: LNB 21V.

Akan tetapi, jika Anda menggunakan alat meter ini untuk pengarahan antena – setelah aplikasi utamanya HD-S2 memberikan gambaran yang tepat untuk instalasi. Anda akan selalu menala sistem penerimaan Anda untuk kekuatan dan kualitas sinyal. Dengan satu alat meter maksimumnya adalah MER = 11,5 dB dan dengan yang lain pada MER = 15 dB. Namun Anda mendapatkan maksimum pada

posisi antena yang tepat sama. Yang lebih penting adalah bahwa alat meter ini bereaksi sangat cepat: baik dalam penguncian sinyal ketika Anda menggerakkan antena dan dalam menunjukkan perubahan kualitas sinyal ketika Anda menala-halus. Lebih lanjut, pembacaan MER cukup stabil jika antena tidak bergerak. Fitur ini lebih penting untuk praktek daripada keakuratan absolut.

LNB Monoblok

untuk ASTRA 1 di 19.2° E & ASTRA 3 di 23.5° E
Di Eropa, LNBF monoblok yang paling populer dibuat untuk jarak 6°. Yang agak sedikit kurang populer adalah LNBF untuk jarak 3°. Namun bagaimana jika Anda ingin menerima 2 satelit yang berjarak 4,3° – seperti ASTRA1 di 19,2° BT dan ASTRA3 di 23,5° BT? Baik LNBF 6° maupun 3° tidak akan bisa melakukannya. Untunglah, beberapa pabrikan mengetahui tuntutan pasar ini dan membuat monoblok 4,3°. Salah satu pabrikan yang berorientasi pasar adalah Jiuzhou, perusahaan yang dikenal baik oleh pembaca TELE-satelit. Beberapa waktu lalu, kami telah menguji monoblok 6° (TELE-satelit 06-07/2008). Kali ini kami memutuskan untuk mengamati lebih dekat JQB4P – monoblok quad untuk satelit berjarak 4,3°.
Monoblok ini dimuat dalam kotak logam yang disegel dengan silikon. Bobotnya agak berat sehingga Anda harus m e m i l i h antena yang memiliki lengan penopang LNBF yang agak kokoh.

Bersama LNBF, kami juga mendapatkan penyekat plastik untuk pemegang LNBF 40 mm. Tanpa penyekat ini, Anda akan memerlukan pemegang 23 mm. Ketika kami memasang JQB4P pada pemegang

40 mm standar dan mengencangkan bautnya, masih terdapat terlalu banyak kelonggaran. Cara paling sederhana adalah membungkus leher 23 mm dengan lapisan pita dan meletakkan

penyekat di atasnya. Dengan cara ini kami menciptakan daya tahan tambahan dan tidak ada resiko bahwa monoblok akan berubah posisinya tanpa disengaja. Pengujian pertama yang kami lakukan adalah untuk membandingkan kinerja LNBF quad dari Jiuzhou dengan LNBF referensi. Referensinya adalah monoblok universal low noise untuk jarak 4,3° (NF=0.2dB). Kami menggunakan antena offset 85x80 cm dengan rasio f/D 0,6. Kedua LNB berada di posisi fokus dan LNB di off-center diukur dan dibandingkan dengan yang lainnya. Jika Anda memerhatikan Gambar 1 hingga 4, Anda akan mendapatkan bahwa quad JQB4P menghasilkan keluaran sedikit lebih rendah daripada peranti tunggal. Untuk Ku-band high ini lebih baik daripada referensi kami. Kami bisa mengatakan bahwa level keluaran dari JQB4P adalah cukup kuat untuk jaringan distribusi ukuran kecil dan menengah. Hanya untuk pemasangan antena dengan kabel yang sangat panjang maka Anda perlu mempertimbangkan penambahan penguat sinyal. Bagaimana dengan kinerja noise? Bisakah peranti quad menyamai kinerja monoblok tunggal? Hasil pengukuran ditunjukkan dalan Gambar 5 hingga 8. Kinerja JQB4P sangat bagus, secara praktis sama dengan referensi kami. Biasanya, peranti quad memiliki hasil MER yang lebih jelek daripada peranti tunggal tetapi tidak untuk kasus ini. Hanya untuk polarisasi vertikal dari LNB pusat yang kami observasi memiliki kinerja yang lebih jelek. Sinyal berpolarisasi horizontal ditangani setara dengan LNB tunggal referensi. Kami bahkan mendapatkan hasil yang lebih baik dengan LNB off-center. Di sini, JQB4P lebih baik untuk polarisasi vertikal dan secara praktis sama untuk yang horizontal. Hal selanjutnya yang ingin kami uji adalah kesetaraan empat keluaran pada JQB4P. Gambar 9 hingga 12 menceritakan: secara praktis tidak ada perbedaan di antara keempat keluaran. Khususnya hasil MER hampir identik. Ini berarti bahwa tidak ada di antara keempat sinyal itu yang terbagus atau terjelek dibandingkan dengan yang lainnya. Ini bisa menjadi akhir dari pengujian kami, tetapi kami memutuskan untuk memeriksa hal lainnya. Terdapat satelit lain yang memiliki jarak sudut yang serupa dengan Astra 3 di 23,5° BT. Maksud kami adalah Astra 2 di 28,2° BT. Perbedaanya bukan 4,3° tetapi 4,7°, namun siapa tahu, mungkin bisa menggunakan JQB4P untuk pasangan satelit ini? Kami mengubah posisi monoblok di pemegang sehingga sekarang LNBF off-center berada di posisi sebaiknya dan sinyalnya diperiksa. Untuk kegembiraan kami, alat meter kami segera menunjukkan senyum hijau yang berarti penerimaan dimungkinkan. Untuk membandingkannya, kami mengambil pengukuran lain – lihat Gambar 13 dan 14. Penelitian yang lebih dekat menunjukkan bahwa terdapat

kehilangan kualitas sinyal jika dibandingkan dengan penerimaan satelit untuk jarak 4,3°. Anda bisa mengharapkan masalah dengan penerimaan beberapa transponder, khususnya dalam cuaca buruk. Akan tetapi, transponder yang lebih kuat masih bisa diterima. Jangan lupa bahwa ini bukan penerapan untuk peranti ini. Kami melakukannya untuk memenuhi keingin-tahuan kami (dan mungkin Anda juga) curiosity. Maka ide terbaik adalah menggunakan JQB4P untuk jarak 4,3° sesuai dengan spesifikasinya. Anda akan puas dengan hasilnya. Penerimaan 2 satelit berjarak 4,7° masih dimungkinkan namun tidak seluruh transponder dijamin bisa pada cuaca buruk. Untuk penggunaan yang nonstandar seperti ini, Anda bisa mempertimbangkan penggunaan JQB4P terpasang pada antena yang lebih kecil, misalnya, 75x70 cm. Untuk kasus ini, LNB offsetnya secara ideal akan tepat berada pada jarak satelit 4,7°.
1. Alat meter mendeteksi pengarahan yang sempurna untuk 2 satelit. Monoblok JQB4P digunakan untuk penerimaan ASTRA1 (19,2o BT) dan ASTRA3 (23,5o BT) berjarak 4,3o 2. Monoblok bisa secara sukses digunakan untuk pasangan satelit lainnya: ASTRA3 (23,5o BT) dan ASTRA2 (28,2o BT) berjarak 4,7o. Sekarang, alat meter kami mendeteksi kekuatan dan kualitas sinyal yang sangat bagus.

COMPANY REPORT

Agen Besar DOEBIS, Jerman

DOEBIS sedang berkembang
Tepat tiga tahun lalu TELE-satelit mengulas laporan tentang DOEBIS, agen besar satelit di Jerman. Kami berpikir inilah saat yang tepat untuk bertanya pada DOEBIS tentang bagaimana mereka menghadapi krisis. Kami menerima jawaban yang mengejutkan: “Kami bertambah besar!” kata Rainer Werking, Manager Operasi di DOEBIS. Perusahaan ini memanfaatkan krisis ekonomi yang terjadi pada tahun 2008 dan daripada memperkecil, mereka memilih strategi yang berlawanan: mereka menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk menginvestasi dan terutama memperluas kekuatan penjualan mereka.

■ Claus Ruebesam adalah Manager

Layanan Konsumen dan Teknis. Di sini dia mendemonstrasikan Receiver HDTV HDCU 2010, salah satu receiver dari JAEGER DOEBIS, dengan ini DOEBIS ingin meningkatkan angka penjualannya.

Wolfgang Pflaum telah menjadi Key Account Manager sejak akhir tahun 2009. Dia telah biasa dengan industri satelit sejak permulaan. Dia mengenang kembali: “Receiver pertama saya adalah MASPRO.” Yaitu pada tahun 1988 dan sejak saat itu dia telah bekerja 56

di berbagai posisi di industri satelit. Pekerjaannya di DOEBIS adalah untuk memperbesar Key Account Sales Team: “Saat ini kami memiliki 10 karyawan di Sales Team untuk menangani sejumlah besar permintaan konsumen setiap harinya”, Wolfgang Pflaum melaporkan

aktivitasnya. Mobilisasi yang besar dari Sales Team telah terbayar: “Kami mengharapkan untuk melihat peningkatan penjualan sebesar 25% untuk tahun 2010”, Rainer Werking menjelaskan sambil melihat sekilas pada data penjualan, “dan untuk tahun

TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-1 1/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com

2011 kami mencari peningkatan sekitar 10%.” Ini adalah hasil penjualan yang cemerlang dan Wolfgang Pflaum menjelaskan alasannya: “Kami telah menambah dua nama merk yang sangat kuat dalam jajaran produk kami: TOPFIELD untuk segmen high-end dan STRONG untuk segmen menengah.” DOEBIS segera memberitahu konsumennya tentang dua nama baru ini dan menghasilkan penjualan yang sangat bagus. Akan tetapi DOEBIS tidak menjualnya ke pengguna-akhir, jadi, siapa sebenarnya konsumen DOEBIS? “Konsumen utama DOEBIS selalu dalam kategori spesialis dan instalatir”, lapor Wolfgang Pflaum. Aktivitas baru yang dikembangkan oleh Key Accounts

Team adalah mencakup pengirim katalog mail-order klasik serta pengecer online baik domestik maupun internasional. Permintaan yang besar dari konsumen ini juga diberi perhatian yang sangat khusus. Rainer Werking menunjukkan puncak gambar grafik: “75% dari volume kami adalah untuk negara-negara berbahasa Jerman, sedangkan 25% ke luar negeri.” Persentase ini adalah sama dengan tiga tahun lalu pada saat kami pertama kali menulis laporan tentang DOEBIS (TELE-satelit 10-11/2007). Sebagai perbandingan angka dari tiga tahun lalu kami mendapatkan sesuatu yang berbeda: “Distribusi produk juga tetap hampir sama”, kata Rainer Werking, “70% adalah receiver, 10% LNB dan 5% alat analisa sinyal.”

Untuk jangka panjang, DOEBIS mengharapkan penurunan dalam jumlah receiver, khususnya receiver SD yang lebih murah. “Untuk alasan ini DOEBIS sedang mencari pasaran baru. Kami sedang membangun teknologi baru dan berkualitas”, kata Rainer Werking ketika menjelaskan strategi diversifikasi mereka. Perkembangan receiver HD, Rainer Werking memiliki sedikit kejutan pada kami: “Kami telah mengembangkan receiver dengan merk kami sendiri!” DOEBIS baru saja memulai pemasaran jenis receiver mereka dengan nama JAEGER. Jenis ini adalah hasil dari saransaran dari banyak konsumen. “Dengan JAEGER HDCI 2010 kami menawarkan receiver definisi tinggi dalam DVB-S2

besar. Perusahaan ini terletak di tengah dan bisa mengirimkan pesanan konsumen hampir sama jaraknya ke utara dan selatan Jerman, serta negara-negara yang berdekatan.

dan dengan MPEG4”, Rainer Werking menjelaskan, “model lainnya adalah JAEGER HD+ 2011.” Kedua receiver ini sekarang telah tersedia; model ketiga akan diperkenalkan pada saat penerbitan edisi ini; receiver HDTV JAEGER HD+ 2011 CI+. TELE-satelit merencanakan laporan pengujian untuk model ini pada edisi mendatang. “Model JAEGER kami adalah ‘Dirakit di Jerman’”, kata Rainer Werking. Key Account Manager Wolfgang Pflaum melanjutkan, “Untuk tahun 2010 kami mengharapkan penjualan receiver JAEGER sekitar 5%; untuk tahun 2011 kami memperkirakan peningkatan menjadi 10%. Untuk jangka menengah kami mencari model receiver JAEGER untuk membuat sekitar 20% dari penjualan receiver DOEBIS.” Karena kita berada di topik receiver, kami ingin mengetahui perbedaan model yang bisa diterima dengan receiver DOEBIS. Rainer Werking telah siap

dengan jawabannya: “Pada tahun 2010, 65% dari receiver hadir dengan tuner satelit, 10% dengan tuner terestrial dan 25% dengan tuner kabel. Pada tahun 2011 kami mengharapkan peningkatan pada tuner kabel hingga 30% dan penurunan pada receiver terestrial menjadi 8% dan receiver satelit menjadi 62%.” Para manager di DOEBIS sedang menuju ke tahun 2012: “Transponder TV analog terakhir akan dimatikan yang memaksa jutaan pemirsa untuk memperbarui menjadi receiver digital”, komentar Rainer Werking, “sejak saat itu gudang kami akan penuh dengan receiver digital.” Jika Anda melihat ke palet produk DOEBIS, Anda akan melihat bahwa palet ini berisi produk berkualitas tinggi dari salah satu nama terbesar dalam bisnis ini. Maka akan menjadi tidak ada kejutan bahwa DOEBIS juga menawarkan LNB serat-optik. “Sudah 5% dari konsumen

penyalur kami telah memilih LNB optikal”, ungkap Rainer Werking, ‘Untuk tahun 2011 kami mengharapkan jumlah ini meningkat menjadi 10%.” Mungkin masih memerlukan sedikit waktu, namun saatnya akan tiba ketika hanya LNB serat optik yang dijual. “LNB ini memang mahal tetapi jauh lebih baik dan dapat digunakan untuk berbagai aplikasi.”, konfirmasi Rainer Werking. TELE-satelit secara kategori menyetujui ungkapan ini. Biasanya ini adalah permulaan yang akan diikuti oleh yang lainnya. DOEBIS benar-benar adalah salah satu pelopor ini. Mereka melihat kesempatan baru ini dan melaksanakannya. DOEBIS sekarang telah berusia 22 tahun dan saat ini telah berpengalaman dalam tinggi rendahnya industri satelit dan telah dikelola untuk terus bertumbuh. Inilah tampak dari kesuksesan!

Receiver baru buatan Doebis:

■ JAEGER HD+ 2011 HDTV DVB-S2 Receiver

■ JAEGER HDCI 2010 HDTV DVB-S2 Receiver with CI and USB

SmartWi Produsen Pembaca Kartu Nirkabel

SmartWi menaklukkan Pasar Provider
Pembaca majalah ini telah kenal dengan pabrikan pembaca kartu SmartWi sejak beberapa tahun lalu. Dalam TELE-satelit edisi 06-07/2007 kami mempublikasikan laporan pertama tentang perusahaan dari Denmark ini yang hadir dengan ide cemerlang: Bagaimana memancarkan data dari kartu langganan TV-berbayar ke kartu lainnya dalam rumah yang sama? Segera kesenangan menonton Anda akan diperluas dari ruang keluarga ke kamar tidur, atau ruangan lain. TV-berbayar apa saja yang Anda sukai – dan ide yang cerdik ini mendapatkan nama yang layak juga: smart Wifi, atau disingkat SmartWi.

Kurt Olesen adalah otak cerdik di balik SmartWi. Dia mendirikan perusahaan pada tahun 2005 dan ketika kami mengunjunginya pertama kali pada tahun 2007 dia sedang berada di puncak sukses. Sejumlah 60.000 produk SmartWi terjual pada tahun 2007, namun angka penjualan menurun pada tahun berikutnya. “Pada tahun 2010 kami akan menjual sekitar 35.000 perangkat SmartWi.” Masih, Kurt Olesen memiliki pandangan yang percaya diri untuk masa depannya – dan untuk satu alasan: “Sekitar tanggal publikasi TELE-satelit edisi ini dan di Pameran IBC kami akan meluncurkan SmartWi generasi kedua,” Kurt Olesen menjelaskan dan dengan bangga menunjukkan kepada kami model baru SmartWi. “Alat ini bekerja dengan cara yang sama dengan generasi pertama,” lanjutnya. “Konsumen hanya perlu mencolokkan kartu TV-berbayar ke dalam unit dan selanjut bisa menonton TV-berbayar pada TV kedua menggunakan

kartu tambahan yang terhubung peranti utama via sinyal radio.”

ke

SmartWi yang baru telah membuat lompatan quantum, yang bisa dilihat dengan jelas bahkan dari bagian luar. Anak Kurt Olesen yaitu Jens Glad bertanggung jawab untuk teknologi dan desain dalam bisnis dan juga menentukan bentuk dari peranti tersebut. Jika generasi pertama tampak seperti peranti komputer, maka SmartWi yang baru mendapat juara desain dan dipersembahkan dengan bangga, daripada disembuyikan jauh di dalam lemari. Ini merupakan aset yang bergaya – sehingga tidak akan mendapat penolakan dibandingkan dengan gadget teknis lainnya. Bahwa penglihatan bukan tidak dapat dipercaya dalam hal ini. Hanya mendengar Jens Glad membeberkan semua inovasi yang terjadi di dalam: “Hal utama adalah prosesor yang lebih cepat dan memori program yang baru, yang telah digandakan

kapasitasnya dari versi sebelumnya.” Hal ini membuat SmartWi generasi kedua dipertimbangkan lebih cepat dan lebih responsif. Namun masih ada lagi. “Antena built-in sekarang diatur dalam tata-letak yang berada di sepanjang sisi longitudinal perangkat ini, yang membuatnya memiliki kemampuan pancaran yang lebih baik daripada tataletak lama,” Jens menjelaskan. Fitur menarik lainnya adalah rongga kartu kedua di kotak. “SmartWi baru memiliki seluruh perangkat keras yang diperlukan untuk menggunakan dua kartu pada saat yang bersamaan,” menurut Jens Olesen. Model yang saat ini dikirimkan belum diaktifkan untuk penggunaan dua kartu, namun pembaruan peranti lunak akan segera membuka fitur tersebut. Produk SmartWi dari generasi pertama terutama dijual kepada konsumen akhir, dan Kurt Olesen juga bermaksud untuk

memasuki wilayah yang belum tersentuh. SmartWi generasi kedua secara jelas ditargetkan untuk pasaran provider. “Inilah alasan kami mengubah desainnya dan beralih ke warna hitam,” Jens Glad menambahkan, yang bertanggung jawab untuk keputusan ini. “Dengan desain baru maka provider akan bisa menawarkan SmartWi dengan merk mereka sendiri.”

Tanpa disengaja, dia benar-benar tepat ketika menyatakan bahwa provider tertentu mengabaikan pasar yang sangat besar untuk TV kedua atau ketiga di rumah. “Apakah Anda benar-benar tahu seseoarang yang hanya memiliki satu TV?” Kurt Olesen ingin mengetahui. Masih saja, kebanyakan provider membiarkan konsumen ini dalam kegelapan karena

mereka memaksa mereka untuk berlangganan tambahan dengan biaya penuh (yang sering berada di luar pertanyaan), atau menawarkan kartu kedua dengan harga yang lebih rendah – namun juga tidak diketahui siapa yang sebenarnya menggunakan kartu tambahan ini dan tidak ada cara untuk memastikan kartu ini berada di rumah yang sama. Jika, di lain pihak, provider memutuskan untuk secara langsung menawarkan SmartWi kepada pelanggan mereka atau paling tidak secara resmi memberi izin, maka setiap pelanggan akan bisa menggunakan TV kedua atau ketiga dengan cara yang resmi, karena jangkauan nirkabel dari SmartWi hanya mencakup satu rumah saja. Dengan cara ini provider tidak takut dengan berbagi-kartu yang ilegal, karena tidak dimungkinkan dengan sistem SmartWi sejak awal. Kurt Olesen benar-benar meyakinkan bahwa „provider bisa mendapatkan pasaran baru yang besar.“ Di lain pihak dia juga menyadari dilema yang muncul: „Teknisi di perusahaan provider biasanya terbuka untuk SmartWi, namun departemen pemasaran – yang tidak begitu peduli dengan teknologi – tidak mengambil tujuan dari produk kami.“ Namun, satu hal yang Kurt Olesen yakin: desain baru akan menarik perhatian orang pemasaran juga, yang sebenarnya merupakan langkah pertama dalam

Sebagai kenyataannya, SmartWi merupakan produk yang hanya mencakup tempat pasar kecil pada saat pertama kali diperkenalkan. Tempat ini, secara konstan diperluas dengan adanya semangat inovasi dan strategi yang tegas. Satu perusahaan yang dimulai dengan tiga karyawan sekarang telah berubah menjadi operasional 6 orang. Angka ini akan meningkat lebih tinggi segera setelah SmartWi mendapatkan tempat di pasaran provider. Tanda keberhasilan pertama telah tampak: „Provider SATRO dari Slovakia telah menggunakan SmartWi,“ kata Kurt Olesen dan memberikan bukti pada aksi baru perusahaan tersebut. SmartWi secara tegas telah membuat perjalanan dari permulaan yang sederhana menjadi pemain pasar yang handal dengan pengembangan secara konsisten terhadap produk awal. Suatu kisah keberhasilan yang menarik!

Sepanjang tahun-tahun tersebut, pendiri SPAUN Friedrich Spaun dan anaknya Kevin, yang telah mengambil alih pengelolaan perusahaan ini, mencatat satu hal. „Kapan saja suatu perangkat dikirim untuk perbaikan, satu komponen yang gagal dalam banyak kasus adalah unit catu daya,“ Kevin Spaun menjelaskan. „Tentu saja, diagnosa ini juga tepat untuk hampir semua perangkat elektronik.“ Kapasitor Elektrolitik dalam peranti ini biasanya yang disalahkan untuk kegagalan. „Di pasaran terdapat sejumlah kapasitor elektrolitik yang berbeda dalam masa pakainya. Model yang murah dirancang untuk melayani masa pakai 3.000 jam, sedangkan tipe yang lebih

unggul bisa bertahan hingga 10.000 jam bahkan lebih.“ Secara jelas, kapasitor elektrolitik tidak berhenti bekerja setelah mencapai 3.000 atau 10.000 jam – masa hidup produk diberikan mengacu pada rata-rata jam di bawah suhu operasi maksimum dan daya maksimum yang masuk. Karena kondisi ekstrim ini hanya terjadi pada situasi yang jarang , maka jam operasi kapasitor biasanya lebih lama. Seperti kebanyakan pabrikan perangkat elektronik, SPAUN pernah mendapatkan unit catu daya dari penyalur pihak ketiga. Selain itu, perusahaan yang membuat multi-switch tidak seharusnya berfokus pada unit catu daya, bukan begitu? Baiklah, jika prinsipnya adalah kualitas dan Anda menyediakan garansi 5-tahun pada seluruh produk Anda, maka fokus Anda harus pada setiap komponen. „Tahap pertama kami meminta penyalur kami untuk hanya menggunakan kapasitor elektrolitik berkualitas tinggi,“ kenang Kevin Spaun. Namun akhirnya, bahkan kebutuhan ini tidak cukup untuk menjamin kualitas yang diminta SPAUN. Tambahan pada kualitas dan kepercayaan, pabrikan premium juga harus melihat pada efisiensi energi, begitu pula dengan SPAUN yang akhirnya

menyadari bahwa spesifikasi untuk unit catu daya dari pihak ketiga menjadi semakin rumit dan mulai berpikir untuk membuat sendiri komponen-komponen tersebut. „Kebebasan pabrikan harus selalu tegas keseimbangan antara biaya komponen dan kualitas komponen untuk bisa mengatur harga yang bersaing. Jika kami, di lain pihak, memroduksi sendiri semuanya, kami memiliki keseluruhan proses di bawan kendali kami dan bisa memilih setiap komponen sehingga produk akhir bisa memenuhi permintaan kami yang ketat. Inilah satu-satunya jalan untuk mencapai kualitas yang kami harapkan.“ Setelah keputusan ini telah dibuat, semua berjalan begitu cepat: SPAUN POWER GmbH didirikan sebagai perusahaan baru dan ruang produksi baru juga dibangun. „Kami menginvestasikan sekitar 2 juta EUR,“ Kevin Spaun menjelaskan sambil menunjukkan fasilitas produksi baru tersebut. Perusahaan baru ini telah beroperasi untuk dua tahun. „Kami berada di posisi untuk menghasilkan sekitar 500.000 unit catu daya setiap tahun,“ dia melanjutkan. „Dengan jumlah unit ini kami tidak saja sanggup memenuhi semua produk kami, tetapi 69

juga bisa disalurkan kepada perusahaan pihak ketiga.“ Sebagai kenyataannya, lebih dari 10% produk tahunan dijual kepada perusahaan lain yang telah menyadari bahwa harga yang lebih tinggi di awal untuk unit catu daya berkualitas tinggi adalah lebih dari pada kompensasi yang diberikan dalam masa pakainya. Kevin Spaun merincikan alasannya: „Kualitas selalu menang. Meskipun jika akan terdengar bijaksana pada mulanya dari sudut pandang finansial untuk menggunakan komponen yang lebih murah, biaya ini menguntungkan tetapi hilang jika komponen gagal hanya dalam waktu singkat. Pemilihan kualitas tinggi sejak awal merupakan keputusan yang lebih bijaksana.“ Hal ini penting bagi produk yang memiliki siklus hidup bertahan hingga beberapa tahun. “Kami menyalurkan produk kami untuk sistem distribusi di hotel dan bangunan perumahan besar,” dia melanjutkan. “Sebagian bangunan ini memiliki beberapa ratus pengguna dan perangkat elektronik harus bisa diandalkan untuk beberapa tahun bahkan dekade tanpa kegagalan.” Perusahaan seperti SPAUN hanya bisa memenuhi target kualitas ini dengan produk berkualitas tinggi. Jika unit catu daya diperlukan untuk tujuan tersebut tidak tersedia di pasaran, maka SPAUN harus memenuhinya dari produksi sendiri. Namun, kualitas bukan satu-satunya atribut yang telah membuat SPAUN untuk mendirikan pabrik catu daya. “Unit catu daya switch-mode mengkonsumsi 25% lebih sedikit energi daripada komponen konvensional.” Satu hal yang tidak boleh diremehkan adalah kenyataan bahwa sebagian besar produk SPAUN dinyalakan terus-menerus dan secara konstan memerlukan daya listrik. Selain itu, multiswitch atau amplifier harus beroperasi dan tersedia setiap saat. Bahwa multi-switch dari SPAUN telah dilengkapi dengan mode standby hemat-energi untuk beberapa tahun, namun penghematan energi tambahan sekitar 30% merupakan keuntungan besar dalan skenario ini. “Sejujurnya, unit catu daya baru kami membayar dirinya sendiri,” Kevin Spaun menjelaskan perhitungannya. Tagihan listrik pengguna setiap bulan akan lebih rendah “dan semua unit catu daya kami dirancang untuk bisa menerima voltase antara 100 dan 240 V, yang membuatnya benar-benar universal,” dia menambahkan petunjuk tentang pontensi bagi produk SPAUN untuk negara-negara di luar Eropa juga. “Saat ini SPAUN POWER mempekerjakan tiga insinyur spesialis dan di waktu dekat ini kami akan meluncurkan unit catu daya switch-mode untuk menyediakan daya bagi LED. Kami mengharapkan itu bisa masuk pasaran yang tumbuh secara signifikan di masa mendatang. Biasanya,

70

TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-1 1/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com

kami juga bisa menggunakan pakar kami untuk pengembangan dan pembuatan solusi khusus untuk konsumen.” Unit catu daya switch-mode yang baru ini tidak saja mengkonsumsi sedikit energi, tetapi juga menggunakan energi lebih efisien daripada sebelumnya. “Kami sedang mencari faktor efisiensi lebih dari 90%,” kata Kevin Spaun dengan bangga. Akhirnya, Kevin Spaun memberi penjelasan tentang strategi yang sangat menguntungkan untuk memperpanjang masa pakai unit catu daya SPAUN. “Kami merancang secara umum unit catu daya untuk produk kami sehingga bisa berjalan pada kapasitas sekitar 60%.” Tetap terjaga di bawah ambang batas bisa mengurangi resiko kegagalan selama penggunaan permanen. SPAUN telah mempelajari trik dagang selama empat dekade sebagai pabrikan produk berkualitas tinggi. Keputusan untuk juga memroduksi sendiri unit catu daya merupakan tahap tambahan yang optimis keseluruhan rantai pabrikasi dan lebih lanjut meningkatkan produk yang berkualitas tinggi dan dapat diandalkan. Sangat menarik untuk dilihat bahwa fokus yang ketat pada kualitas membawa kesuksesan jangka panjang dan sangat senang untuk melihat bahwa fokus utama pada harga, yang sepertinya agak umum saat ini, tidak selalu menjadi jalan untuk sukses yang abadi.

What is a Switch-mode Power Supply?
Switch-mode power supply (SMPS) converts the mains AC voltage (110-240V, 50/60 Hz) to low DC voltage required by electronic devices of all sorts (TV-sets, satellite receivers, laptops, multiswitches etc.). DC voltage is stabilized what means that it does not change if we draw more or less current from the SMPS. The old type power supply unit (so called “linear power supply unit”) requires a big and heavy transformer which converts high AC voltage to low AC voltage as well as a regulating transistor with a heatsink to stabilize DC voltage. Regulating the DC voltage in a linear mode leads to significant power losses what generates undesired heat. Hence the need for a heatsink. SMPS first converts AC mains voltage to DC voltage and then switches it on and off with high frequency (50 kHz up to 1 MHz) what produces a rectangular waveform. Usually a transformer is still needed but this time it is much smaller because the higher the frequency, the smaller the transformer that is required to handle it. The regulating transistor with a big heatsink is no longer needed because the voltage is regulated by changing the ratio of on/off states. SMPS is therefore much more compact and lightweight and it is also more energy efficient. These are its main advantages. It is also more complex that traditional linear PSU. Despite that, SMPS are used almost exclusively in today‘s electronic equipment.

Proses produksi Unit Catu-daya di SPAUN POWER
1. Gulungan ini menampung komponen SMD. Setiap gulungan menyimpan 5.000 komponen. 2. Proses solder dilakukan pada papan sirkuit ini. 3. Mesin penyelip SMD secara otomatis meletakkan komponen SMD pada posisi yang sesuai di atas papan sirkuit. Gambar ini menunjukkan 10 papan sirkuit yang masih saling melekat untuk 40/25 unit catu daya.

COMPANY REPORT

Satellite Distributor SMART INNOVATIONS, The Netherlands

The AZBox Champions  from Holland
It really helps to not only have a good product but to also have a very ambitious sales team. A perfect example of this is the company Smart Innovations in northeastern Holland. The three owners of the company are very much involved with its operation and have helped make the AZBox receivers one of the top selling brands not only in The Netherlands but also in Belgium and Luxemburg. For these three countries, Smart Innovations has taken over distribution of the AZBox.

Zutphen (Amsterdam)

■ At the moment, Smart Innovations still resides
in one of the apartments in this house in the town of Zutphen in northeastern Holland. The move to a new office is coming very soon.

TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-1 1/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com

The three-man company currently resides in a residential area in the small town of Zutphen, not too far from Apeldoorn and roughly 100 km from Amsterdam. At the moment the warehouse is in the founder’s garage but this won’t be the case much longer. The company will shortly move to a larger building which will include a warehouse. We found out how it all started from Herbert Verheijden; he’s really the founder of Smart Innovations. “I started the company in 2005”, he explains to us. He’s been involved with satellite reception since 1995. “My first receiver was the PACE 500 G4. Back then it was one of the first digital receivers available”, he remembers. His first satellite dish was 80cm in diameter. He is a software engineer by trade and thus was especially interested in digital signal modulation technology. Via the Internet it didn’t take long for him to find people with similar interests with which he could exchange ideas. “We still use the www.sat4all.com Satellite Bulletin Board today to communicate with our customers”, explains Herbert Verheijden. He met André Pelgrim

through this satellite board and found out that he didn’t live all too far away from him and was therefore able to meet up with him in person on many occasions. Over the years the two of them worked closer and closer together. The third member of the team is Rinus Lindoorn. He’s the founder and chairman of the ‘De Transponder’ satellite club which provides extensive information for satellite enthusiasts via its web site www.detransponder.nl. In 2007 the three of them became equal partners in Smart Innovations with each owning exactly one third of the company. Their jobs are all very clearly defined: Herbert Verheijden is responsible for the company’s vision, Andre Pelgrim handles the technical side of operations while Rinus Lindoorn watches over the small company’s finances. All three of them have a dedication to satellite technology and above all the AZBox. Herbert Verheijden explains how the connection to the AZBox came about: “We met Hugo Condessa, the head of

AZBox, at ANGA 2005 and learned about his products. We recognized right away that his boxes were ideal for our market because of its quality and price.” The Smart Innovations team immediately began translating the receiver manuals, receiver menus and promotional materials into Dutch. “We also started our own support forum at www.azbox.nl”, adds Herbert Verheijden. The start of the company didn’t go all too smoothly at first: “In our first year 2007 we managed to sell only 500 receivers and our second year 2008 wasn’t much better”, explains Rinus Lindoorn, responsible for the financial side of things. The three agree that the main reason for this weak beginning was that AZBox only offered SD receivers at the time. In 2009 however, sales increased dramatically: “In 2009 we sold 1400 high definition receivers and in 2010 we expect that number to climb to 3000”, Rinus Lindoorn says confidently. The increase in sales is also due to some other factors. Rinus Lindoorn regularly visit’s the dealers in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg to highlight the advantages of the AZBox:

■ The smart idea from Smart Innovations: they are working on a box to convert Infrared to Bluetooth.
This would make it possible to control the AZBox and a state-of-the-art TV system from a single remote control.

antennas with a total of 31 LNBs plus one LNB on a rotary dish. As it turned out, the AZBox had a software bug in its DiSEqC control that allowed the receiver to access 30 LNBs without any problems, just not the last 2 LNBs. They would never have found out about unique problems such as this if they didn’t make themselves available to answer everyone’s questions. At the moment Smart Innovations wholesale dealer network is made up of 25 active dealers in The Netherlands, five in Belgium and one in Luxembourg. We want to know what sales are like for the individual AZBox receiver models; Rinus Lindoorn looks at his books and says: “The AZBox Premium Plus makes up 50% of our sales, the Premium model accounts for 30% while the Elite box makes up for 20%.” Those are all high definition models. The actual tuner selection is rather interesting: “60% of AZBox receivers are delivered with satellite tuners, 30% come with combination satellite and cable tuners and the remaining 10% are strictly cable boxes.” We noticed that terrestrial tuners are not in the mix at all. Rinus Lindoorn confirms, “There’s hardly any demand for terrestrial reception in Holland.” When the subject turned to the future, André Pelgrim finally had the opportunity to present a surprisingly new idea: “The AZBox is the only receiver with a real 1080-line picture and therefore is the perfect match for top-of-the-line TVs.” What conclusion can be drawn from this? “One of the absolute best brand names available is, for example, Bang & Olufsen. But when you check out the remote control, you find out that it operates via Bluetooth while the AZBox works with Infrared.” The trio has thus come up with an interesting idea: and that would be to work with a supplier of converters on a box that could convert Infrared to Bluetooth. “In this way we’re trying to make the AZBox recognizable with high-end TVs.” Smart Innovations is making quite a name for itself. All three business partners are satellite enthusiasts who are intimately familiar with the AZBox’s every detail. They keep coming up with new ideas to make the AZBox even more popular. With such a dedicated sales team AZBox should continue to move upward in the marketplace!

“I visit roughly 30 firms every year”, he explains. The other two colleagues don’t sit idly around either; they are actively promoting the AZBox in satellite forums as well as in their own support forum. “We quickly answer every question we receive”, comments Herbert Verheijden adding that the customer is never alone. The three of them actually enjoy answering questions. “We are regularly surprised ourselves! For example, recently a customer told us that he has 32 LNBs but could only access 30 of them.” A satellite viewer with 32 LNBs? That was new to them. Sure enough, satellite enthusiast Gerard van den Braak in Eindhoven has two multifocus

Satbeams A Website for Professionals

Alexander Derjugin has set some lofty goals for himself. He is the founder and operator of the satbeams.com website the main purpose of which is to reach the professionals. That’s a rather ambitious goal so we wanted to find out from him personally how he intends to reach it. We met up with him in Brussels, Belgium, the city he calls home.
First we wanted to know how satellite reception came into his life. He explains, “I’m originally from Moscow. I worked there as an IT manager for a big ‘Fast Moving Consumer Goods’ company. The company transferred me with my family to their European headquarters in Brussels back in 2001.” There Alexander Derjugin started to work as an IT consultant in the area of web infrastructure. In 2003 his department was outsourced to another big international company providing global IT services he continues to work as a Managed Web Service consultant. Working in another country is a big challenge and it was very important for Alexander to setup his first satellite dish to receive Russian programs! “If we couldn’t receive Russian TV, my wife would be very upset and we would just pack and go back to Moscow”, jokes Alexander Derjugin. As it turns out, he has his wife to thank for getting his start

in satellite reception. “My first satellite system consisted of an 80cm antenna that I used back then to receive SIRIUS at 4.8 east and HOTBIRD at 13 east”, he explains. Not long after that, he expanded his system to 100cm. Meanwhile, Alexander Derjugin wanted to learn more about this mysterious technology. As his colleagues and friends also learned of his interest they began asking him more and more questions related to satellite reception. One thing led to another and he eventually became a satellite specialist. As Alexander worked most of the time with web technologies, he one day came across the idea to combine satellite footprints with Google Maps. That was back

102 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-1 1/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com

charts by any field like ‘language’ or ‘band’. All of the data is linked together and you can reach almost any information with just 2-3 clicks of the mouse.” Alexander is constantly thinking about how he can make his website even more user-friendly. “But above all I want to reach out to professionals and implement additional features that would be useful for them. For example satellite providers would be interested to know if their footprint overlaps with footprints of other satellites.” So Alexander is thinking of the best way to overlay multiple footprints on the worlds map which would make it easy to see what satellites cover the same area. He sees the future of Satbeams with specialised applications. “Interested companies could license the footprint data from me”, says Alexander Derjugin, “with the monthly licensing fee the footprint updates are locked in.” What kind of companies could use his services? “First and foremost would be Internet-via-Satellite providers”, comments Alexander Derjugin, “Satbeam’s first customers came from this sector. The footprint data would also be interesting for uplink stations, for satellite providers and also for SNG operators who need to find the proper footprint for their VSAT systems.” Alexander Derjugin discovered an interesting market segment with Satbeams. A website geared specifically towards the satellite professionals seems to be a very good idea!

■ An example from the satbeams.com website: the footprint of EUROBIRD 9A is projected online
onto Google Maps. You can zoom into and out of the map with the footprints matching each individual map. Satbeams has created an electronic version of the footprint of every satellite. Professional users can license the data and then use the data on their own website.

in 2006 and after few months of hesitation he decided to implement this idea. “In the Fall of 2007 I contracted several talented programmers who helped me develop the necessary software as well as electronically convert the satellite footprints”, he explains. In the middle of 2008 the web site went online with its first version. Initially, Alexander wanted to use the domain name “satcoverage” but a friend suggested that “satbeams” would be better. “That name is short, easy to remember and gets right to the point”, he says. At first Alexander Derjugin wanted to gear his website more

towards satellite DXers, in other words towards hobbyists. He implemented the solution that satellite DXers could click on their location via Google Maps and then enter in realistic reception results. But he wasn’t satisfied with the results and decided to redesign the website. In July 2009 the new version of Satbeams went live. Now almost every satellite footprint from around the world was digitized and could be projected onto Google Maps. “Dozens of volunteers help me keep all of the satellite data up-to-date”, he says. So in addition to satellite technical details and footprints all of the associated transponder data is also displayed. Now he’s in the process of making his website more user-friendly. “I am focused on ‘usability’ to improve the user experience”, he explains, “you can search by channel name or your address and filter the

Pepsi’s Dishes

106 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-1 1/2010 — www.TELE-satellite.com

Satellite DXers are a rather new species in China. One of the select few is Pepsi in the city of Mengyang of Sichuan province in south-western China. Why would anybody choose the nickname Pepsi, you may ask? Well, that’s not difficult to guess: Pepsi used to work for the company by the same name.
■ Where does the DXer live? Easy to guess, it’s
the building on which antennas can even be seen from the street below. Pepsi’s apartment is in this mixed residential and business block, because here he can freely install antennas on the roof.

He has since moved on and now holds a technician’s positions at a local packaging company, even though he still sticks to his nickname. We meet Pepsi for lunch at a typical restaurant in his hometown and he tells us how it all began: “I started out in 2004 with a 1.5 m dish which I used to pick up signals from ASIASAT 3 at 105.5° East.” It was technology rather than content that got him hooked on this hobby. “I hardly ever watch TV,” Pepsi admits, “it’s rather the challenge of trying to receive even more satellites that keeps me going.” This enthusiasm led to an increasing number of satellite dishes over the years. Next to several small dishes with diameters ranging from 45 to 90 cm Pepsi also uses 1.8 and 2.4 m antennas. With great expectations and anticipation we take the trip to Pepsi’s place in a residential area of the city of Mengyang, some 40 km north of the capital of Sichuan province. Pepsi’s apartment is located on the second floor of the building and it becomes evident right upon entering that watching TV is not exactly Pepsi’s favourite pastime. Only one TV set can be seen in the living room, but a total of six receivers. Pepsi loves the technical aspects of satellite television, yet could hardly care less about what kind of content is transmitted. All of his antennas are mounted on the roof of the building’s staircase. “Here they don’t get in the way of anybody, and nobody gets in my way,” Pepsi explains. As a matter of fact, he purposely moved into this area so that he would be able to pursuit his hobby without restrictions. “Where I used to live before it was not possible to install large antennas,” says Pepsi. “It was my hobby that made me move to Mengyang.” Talk about commitment! Pepsi even spends his spare time helping other people install their satellite dishes and he has become a well-established satellite expert even beyond his city. Eventually, his hobby might turn into his profession one day. “I am currently working on larger projects too, which involve supplying several apartments

MUSEUM REPORT

Radiomuseum Ringsted, Denmark

A Satellite Expert’s Museum
Alexander Wiese
Over the course of many years satellite expert Bjarne Nielsen has worked up his reputation as Denmark’s ‘Mr. Satellite’. In retirement now, he has found a new passion in his position as organiser of and driving force behind the ‘Radiomuseum’ in the small town of Ringsted, not far from the Danish capital Copenhagen. In a TELE-satellite exclusive Bjarne Nielsen opens the museum doors and recalls major events that shaped his life.
Let’s start with a remarkable fact: For 15 years Bjarne Nielsen was the publisher and editor-in-chief of Denmark’s first and only satellite-related magazine, with the last issue having appeared in the year 2005. “I published a total of 165 issues,” Bjarne Nielsen recalls. “Each magazine issue featured a test report and a company report, as well as an up-to-date frequency chart.” A peak circulation of 4000 was printed in 2000 in the heyday of Bjarne’s magazine, but towards 2005 this number had declined to 1400 copies. At the same time the Danish postal service decided to increase postage fees with the result that the whole magazine operation had become uneconomical. What made Bjarne Nielsen create and publish a satellite magazine in the first place? In 1966 he had began to work as a teacher at the Ringsted technical vocational school, covering the fields of TV and radio engineering – well... what else? One of his students made a career as service manager for Swedish company LUXOR in Motala, which in 1980 was in the process of developing its first satellite receiver. At the time, satellite receivers usually came from the United States. Bjarne Nielsen managed to obtain satellite reception equipment from LUXOR and “in 1982 I was able for the very first time to watch satellite television thanks to a 2-metre dish,” he remembers. “I picked up Russian



TV from GORIZONT, transmitted in the 4 GHz range.” Half a year later LUXOR invited him to its Motala headquarters and it was there that Bjarne Nielsen was able to see signals from OTS, the first European broadcasting satellite, with the help of a huge 3-metre antenna. All his efforts were focused on setting up a dish of his own and by the end of 1983 a 1.8-metre antenna had become an addition to his house to receivee CS1 at 13° east. In case you’re still in doubt, we’re dealing with a serious case of satellite virus infection here, and in his role as a vocational teacher

Bjarne Nielsen took his chances and raised his students‘ interest for this new technology as well. However, it didn’t stop there. Danish companies dealing with satellite products were quick to see the potential of this dedicated teacher and asked him to organise technical seminars for engineers and installers. “In 1984 and 1985 I held lots of 3-day seminars to teach more than 1000 professional installers how to set up satellite antennas,” Bjarne Nielsen proudly states. His school supported these activities as well, as they were counted as part of the teaching process. This eventually led to the establishment of a satellite magazine in 1990. “My school was the official publisher and I was ‘only’ the editor,” he recalls laughingly because nonetheless, all of his free time was put into the magazine.

“We even went so far as to stage our own satellite fair at the school,” he adds. “It took place in 1990 and we were proud to showcase virtually all Danish satellite companies.” The fair was repeated one more time, but as it was only successful from a technical point of view rather than from a financial aspect, it unfortunately had to be stopped after only two events. Let’s move on to an altogether different stage now and find out what in the world made Bjarne Nielsen run his own museum? “By my very nature as a teacher I was in touch with hundreds of young people, all of whom knew that I collected old TV and radio sets. Time and again they would come to school with a disused device, and I was all the more happy for it.” In all those years he never had to actually buy a radio or TV, each single one was donated. In 1998 Bjarne Nielsen came up with the idea of displaying all those marvellous wonders of technology in a dedicated museum, and in 2000 he was able to make that dream a reality. The Radiomuseum Ringsted was ready to open its doors! The building hosting the museum was made available by the municipality of Ringsted and lots of locals offered a helping hand to adapt the place for its new use as a museum.

1. Celebrating 110 years: An EDISON phonograph dating back to the year 1900 is one of the collection’s highlights. This system uses a wax cylinder to record sound. 2. As early as 1936 company AEG invented a tape recorder. The Radiomuseum features a unit that was manufactured in 1938. 3. The BEOCORD from the year 1948 used steel wire rather than magnetic tape to record voices. “2.2 km of steel wire are wound up on a single roll. The wire is led through the device with a speed of 50 cm per second, which means 2.2 km of wire provide a recording time of one hour,” Bjarne Nielsen explains. “By the way, Danish inventor Valdemar Poulson had this system patented in 1898. At the time, however, the available technology was not ready for real-world implementation. For this you need amplifying which became available only with the invention of tubes.”

“Some 500 items are on display here,” Bjarne Nielsen explains and directs our attention to a breathtaking range of TV and radio sets. But the real surprise is yet to come: “What you can see here is just 10% of what I have collected – a total of 5000 items are stored in a repository.” Now this is quite a revelation – where could Bjarne Nielsen possibly store so many items? We’re wasting our breath here: “In my old school, from which I retired five years ago. Much of the basement there is used up by my TVs and radios,” he says and smiles. Indeed, Bjarne Nielsen has collected an almost unbelievable range of different apparatus, and what makes his collection even more unique is the unexpected number of products made by Danish companies. These days only few people are aware that Denmark used to boast a significant TV and radio industry in the past, because today hardly any of these companies are still in business. Enthusiasm and commitment don’t diminish with age, and Bjarne Nielsen is perfect proof of that. He has even started to publish a new magazine, only that this time it deals with historic TV and radio sets. Some may think of anybody with such a passion for old technology as an idiot, and Bjarne Nielsen happily picked up this notion for the title of his magazine. While he could not quite get himself to call it radio idiots, he went for Radioten instead. A community of ‘radiots’ is in the making and Bjarne Nielsen gets together with like-minded enthusiasts on a regular basis to restore old devices. With a well of personal knowledge and expertise available with his co-collectors and with the help of measurement devices from all times, the results of such restorations are nothing short of impressive. One of the unique aspects of the Radiomuseum is its technical capability to copy

1. This portable radio is impressive proof of the state of technology 75 years ago. It was produced in 1935 and had to do without transistors and microchips of any kind. 2. Danish company RUHE produced this TV set (right) in the year 1950. In 1949 first test broadcasts were transmitted from Copenhagen and these sets were made specifically for receiving these signals. “The official launch of TV in Denmark took place in 1951,” Bjarne Nielsen tells us. And what has seemingly fallen out of the TV to the left? “That’s the remote control,” he replies. What today is a standard feature for home entertainment devices was a genuine sensation at the time. “Of course a remote control in the 1950s was not wireless but rather attached to the main set with a long cable, yet even an early model such as that came with two buttons.” One might wonder what the remote control was used for back then. Surely it was for switching channels, right? “Are you kidding?” Bjarne answers. “There was only one channel available in the first years of television. One button was for adjusting volume, the other for brightness.” In a time and age with virtually thousands of satellite channels at your fingertips isn‘t it hard to imagine a time when you had no choice at all?

old video and audio tapes and save them on present-day storage media. “We have at hand video recorders for all systems that have ever been on the market, and naturally we keep theses systems operational at all times.” Even ancient steel tapes can be played back – which comes as a genuine surprise. “Steel tape was the predecessor of magnetic tape and was used in the 1940s and 1950s.” Time and again audio and video tapes from decades ago pop up and the Radiomuseum is the place to go for playing back or copying their often valuable content. “This can be particularly interesting if the tapes include recordings of company assemblies, for instance, and in some cases such historic content may even have legal ramifications.” In cases like this the Radiomuseum even bridges an existing market gap, as there are hardly any official institutions that keep age-old technology up and running the way Bjarne Nielsen does. In a time and age in which modern satellite receivers are discarded after only a few years of use only to be replaced with yet another new device, a visit to the Radiomuseum in Ringsted is a step back in time. Modern technology is put in perspective when you wander past a sheer endless number of old devices, some of which still working after 100 years – if maintained and serviced properly. Bjarne Nielsen and his helpers definitely know how to do just that. His Radiomuseum is well worth a visit. More information: www.rfr.dk

1. Bjarne Nielsen uses the museum’s basement to keep all types of video recorders up and running. All systems are perfectly maintained and can be used at the touch of a button. “Bring us any kind of old video recording and we’ll be able to copy the content on DVD,” he proudly says. 2. A rare sight: Bjarne Nielsen’s fully functional steel tape recorder is a genuine marvel. Even today it can be used to play back steel tape rolls that are 50 years old (like the one he holds in his hands), and to copy them onto present-day storage media. 3. The basement of the vocational school he used to teach at is a maze that serves as storage area for the Ringsted Radiomuseum. Close to 5000 radio and TV sets stand side by side, including the first HDTV set made in Europe, which used the D2-MAC standard at the time. While this transmission standard is long gone, the TV set remains a reminder of technical innovation in days gone by. 4. Of course, old satellite technology is a given for Bjarne Nielsen too. Here he is seen next to an old presentation antenna made by TRIAX, with the TRIASAT 2000 analogue receiver from 1990 in his hand.

GERMANY OVER 1 MILLION CARDS SHIPPED FOR HD+
In the German market, HD+, the high definition services platform, has enjoyed considerable success, with over 1 million smart cards now already shipped to equipment manufacturers. With a broad range of some 20 HD+ set top box models available, the offer can also be accessed with other receivers via a CI+ module, of which over 100,000 have been sold. SES Astra is managing the HD+ platform for commercial HD broadcasting in Germany.

Telenor Satellite Broadcasting (TSB) revenues increased 6.1% to US$ 43.9 million in its 2010 second quarter ending in June. TSB said its revenues have been driven by the continued growth of its HDTV services in the Nordic region, as well as price increases for service delivery. Following the launch of the Thor 6 satellite last year, the operator is likely to announce a followup satellite in the near future due to better than expected take-up of capacity on Thor 6.

SAMSUNG DSR 9000 FTA
In the search for a digital FTA receiver that is loaded with features but is easy to use, the TELE-satellite International test group stumbled onto the SAMSUNG DSR9000 FTA. One of the requirements of this search was the automatic downloading of software updates via satellite. Receiver software is constantly being improved or updated and not every digital receiver owner has the ability to use a PC to upgrade the receiver’s software via the serial interface. Samsung’s receivers are distributed worldwide and thus software upgrades are made available through various satellites around the world. In central Europe, the ASTRA satellite at 19.2° East can be used for this service. The silver colored chassis and the overall design of this receiver gives the impression that this is an expensive box. The four-digit display shows one of the 2000 possible channels and it can easily be seen even in bright sunlight. A round ring-button lets you change channels and adjust the volume without having to use the remote control. The backside of the box is also nicely laid out. The IF signal is looped-through allowing an additional receiver (analog) to be connected. Two Scart connectors let you connect the box to a TV and a VCR. Audio and video outputs are also available via three RCA jacks. These could be used to connect additional equipment such as a TV projector. The serial interface can be used to upload new software into the receiver if for some reason it were not possible to do this via satellite. Terrestrial antenna signals are also looped-through and the onboard modulator (PAL B/G, I, K in our test model) operates in the entire UHF range. The remote control sits comfortably in your hand with all functions clearly marked thus reducing the likelihood of pressing the wrong button. The first thing the receiver will do after it has been properly set up and configured for the existing antenna will be to look for new software. If a new update is available, it will just take a few minutes to complete the download. The actual installation of the receiver is extremely simple. It must be pointed out that - aside from the easy-to-understand menus - this receiver also has excellent graphics in its On-Screen display. As a worldwide receiver, the DSR9000 FTA offers six different languages for its menus, EPG and soundtrack. If you happen to be using a Solarsat antenna (test report in TELE-satellite International 10-11/2000), you will find a special calculation program in the menu. After the antenna and LNB parameters are stored, the active satellites can simply be selected. The integrated DiSEqC 1.2 allows the use of more than one LNB or can be used to drive an appropriate motor. The automatic search function scans all of the

desired satellites (up to 16) in one shot. Only about seven minutes was needed for the Scan function to handle 80 transponders. If necessary the PID’s for video, audio and PCR can be manually entered. It’s even possible to connect the receiver to a SMATV system. Once programmed, specific channels can be stored in three different priority lists. Considering that this is a digital receiver, switching between channels is actually quite fast, on average about 1/2 second. Unfortunately, this still does not make for very good “Zapping”, but even if you were to try, you wouldn’t have to worry about any unexpected system hang-ups. In our tests, critical C-Band signals (1.9 Ms/ sec) were easily handled without any loss of signal even though, according to the manufacturer, the box can handle 2-45 Ms/sec. The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is very nicely laid out. Here you can display current and future programming information. When switching between channels, a small transparent program information bar appears near the bottom of the screen providing channel name and current program data. A simple push of a button selects the proper soundtrack. The DSR9000 FTA is also Teletext compatible. Switching over to radio mode can

easily be done with the remote control. Program information will then appear on the screen and will also include an attractive background. The EPG can also be accessed in this mode. Unfortunately, the DSR9000 FTA does not have a digital audio output. While we were conducting our tests, new software version 105 became available and was uploaded into the box via satellite. Several bugs that were in version 100 were fixed and there were also obvious improvements with Skyplex signal reception. With the DSR9000 FTA, Samsung has developed a truly user-friendly and easy-to-use receiver that is an excellent choice for anyone not interested in receiving Pay TV signals. Clean graphics and menus that are self-explanatory leave behind a lasting favorable impression. Once the box was upgraded to version 105, there were no more lock-ups. Switching channels was better than average and the automatic scan function works quite fast. The receiver comes with a comprehensive user manual. If it were up to us, we would have liked to see a digital audio output and perhaps even a third Scart connector. The good local service provided by the regional importer is also a “plus” worth mentioning.

MediaCom FTA-Gold

In our unceasing hunt for an easy-to-use free-toair (FTA) receiver with sufficient channel memory, C- and Ku-band compatibility, single and multi channel per carrier (SCPC/MCPC) capability and the ability to control a mechanical C/Ku polarizer, we came across the MediaCom FTA Gold. Free-to-air means that we need not waste any time looking for some CI module slots to allow the reception of PAY-TV. The dark and stylish front panel includes a light green display showing the selected channel number. The FTA Gold has more than sufficient storage capacity with a 3000 channel memory for TV and an additional 2000 channel memory for digital satellite radio. Six unpretentious keys allow operating the receiver without the remote. On the back panel the first feature that catches the attention are the quick-clamps for connecting a mechanical polarizer. This is very important for combined C and Ku-band reception. The receiver also allows for the standard configuration with 13/17 Volt switching of the polarization angles The IF from the antenna can be looped through and thus made available to an additional receiver. Unfortunately the “two-scart” solution seems to have won over most manufacturers of digital satellite receivers, including MediaCom for the FTA Gold. Analog stereo is output from two RCA connections and an additional connection delivers the video signal. A programmable 0/12 Volt output is available for external switches. The serial interface is designed to permit upgrading the operating software, but it could just as well be used to copy the SatcoDX channel information into the box. Unfortunately the receiver we tested was not yet SatcoDX compatible. A terrestrial TV signal is looped through and an UHF modulator can be tuned over the complete UHF range. All PAL modes and NTSC are supported. The remote control deserves special praise. The buttons are clearly labelled and the layout is very logical. With a touch of a button the screen image can be frozen which is a useful feature. First of all the language of the on-screen display (OSD) menu can be selected from five available languages, including Arabic. The OSD can be changed into transparent mode in five steps and the time-outs for the graphics can be individually set. The brightness of the video is also adjustable in five steps. The FTA Gold is pre-set for almost all satellites around the world. All that is left to do is set up the local oscillator frequencies (LOF) for one or several LNBs. Ten sets of values are already stored in the software but of course the parameters can also be freely selected. The various LNBs and the corresponding dish motor are controlled with DiSEqC 1.2. The search function can be performed either in ‘normal’ mode (to find all signals) or in ‘FTA’ mode, where only clear or unencrypted signals will be found. After the initial scan, any time later you can use the ‘update’ function to scan all transponders for new signals without overwriting pre-existing

and unchanged channels. The receiver takes eight minutes to search an 80-transponder satellite. The graphic design of the search menu is particularly good. Individual transponders can be searched for channels using the manual search mode. It is also possible to key in the PID parameters manually. After a complete scan there are usually some channels to be deleted, moved or added to the favourite list. It is also possible to ‘lock’ certain channels. The editing menu displays the channel being edited in a small window on the screen and lists all technical specifications at the same time. All these features are very easy to use. In addition, there is an on-screen keyboard which can be used to name and rename the channels. Of course the same facility is available for all radio stations that have been found in the search. Once the receiver is set up and programmed, switching between channels takes 1.2 seconds, which is not very fast. It has to be mentioned in that context, however, that some delays are caused by the broadcaster having changed the packet information data (PID). This means that the receiver has to detect the correct parameters first from the data stream. When changing channels the most significant data about the channel (if provided) and the time are on shown screen for a few seconds. The FEC, polarization and PID data are also shown. Certain channels can be added to the favourites list and can then be accessed quickly by pressing a corresponding button on the remote. There is a sleep mode, which can set to shut down the receiver after a period of time for all those day or night couch potatoes. The MediaCom FTA Gold deserves our Global Approval without any qualifications. Features like mechanical polarizer control, SCPC compatibility, global satellite memory and C/Ku-band reception make it a really universal box. At the same time it is easy to use and has a very well designed on-screen menu plus online help. It is an ideal FTA receiver for the whole family because everybody will be able to use it. The handbook explains all steps of the installation and operation in an easy-to-understand way. During the extended testing there were no system crashes. Unfortunately this is still not always the case when talking about digital receivers.

The modulator operates in all the different PAL formats across the entire UHF range. In NTSC mode, the modulator switches over to channel 3 or 4. The serial interface allows new software and updated program data (SatcoDX compatibility coming soon) to be uploaded. When the box is first placed into service, you will be prompted to select a language to be used for the On-Screen display (OSD) and the audio sub-carrier. From English to German, Farsi, Arabic and even Russian, most of the important languages are available. An extra special feature is the integrated PAL/ NTSC converter. Depending on the TV being used, PAL, NTSC or AUTO can be selected. The colors of the OSD can be set for two individual users. The European version of this receiver is pre-programmed with 13 satellites with room for 10 more. up to block specific programs from a particular age group. In our test, a 12 year old managed to find his way to an inappropriate channel in just four minutes. The Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI from ATM is a solid, easy-to-use family receiver able to receive free (FTA) and Pay TV (all known CI systems) signals. But this box even has something to offer to more knowledgeable users with its manual PID entry and its symbolrate automation. It is a little weak at the knees with its 1000 channels; a little more would have been better. The user-manual serves as an excellent guide during the installation and using it on a daily basis is nothing more than child’s play. Thanks to the regional pre-programming, the NTSC/PAL selection, the language choices and the universal power supply, the DSR-301CI is truly useable worldwide.

AMT Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI

The situation with channel scanning in the satellite TV world is not entirely unknown: you have the frequency, but all the other data is missing. The FEC and Symbolrate values are not always available in the charts, especially when it involves a brand new feed-signal. Even the best satellite receiver doesn’t provide much help here. The only solution would seem to be a receivers Band-Scan function. Unfortunately, this isn’t all that much fun, since this type of scan could take the entire night and by then that feed has already disappeared. But with the new Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI from AMT, search technology has taken a giant step forward. In a special menu, all you need to do is enter the frequency of the signal - nothing else is needed.

After only a few minutes all possible symbolrates have been scanned and even the FEC values are under control. The result is a new, unlisted channel. This is an important feature that deserved to be highlighted right from the start. This receiver is designed to be used as an FTA/CI unit. With the right CI module and appropriate card, this box can be used for Pay TV reception. Otherwise, it will work just fine as an FTA receiver. One drawback: only a meager 1000 channels are available. Since this box is DiSEqC compatible, multiple LNB’s or antennas can be connected. It won’t be long before you run out of memory space. The nicely shaped, silver-colored cabinet has two flaps on the front panel that hide the CI slots and the auxiliary control buttons. These buttons can be used to program the box if the remote control decides it doesn’t want to play anymore. The green four-digit display shows the current channel. The backside of the unit is fitted with all the usual standard equipment. The IF is looped-through and two Scart connectors together with three RCA jacks link the receiver to external audio/video equipment. A fourth RCA jack provides the controlled 0/12 volt output.

The LNB’s are matched with the proper local oscillator frequencies (LOF’s). The receiver’s menu has the universal and standard values already pre-programmed into the box. Other LOF values can be manually entered. The subsequent scan of an 80-transponder system lasted only seven minutes. The scan can be set up to search for “FTA-only” or “All” channels. Individual transponders can likewise be activated. If it becomes necessary to enter in PID data manually, a corresponding menu is available. At this point the enormously helpful automatic symbolrate search function is certainly worth mentioning again. The Sat Cruiser accepts symbolrates anywhere between 2 and 45 Ms/sec and was even able to work with a 1.8 Ms/sec signal (SCPC) with no difficulty. The DSR-301CI is packed with a very powerful editing function. Programs can be quickly and easily moved, deleted or even temporarily blocked. Priority channels can be quickly stored in a special list. An integrated “typewriter” lets you add names to stored channels and satellites. With a 0.7 second channel switching time, this receiver is one of the faster ones. Holding down the channel selection button does not seem to bother the Sat Cruiser as it does not seek revenge by locking-up on you. To prevent the DSR-301CI from being improperly used by the younger generation, the box can be set

ATTISAT Satellite Systems

In 1997 satellite communication specialists and investors met in Athens. One side brought with them a concept and the other brought the necessary solutions to make the project a reality. The goal was the design, the production and the distribution of a flat antenna. At first this doesn’t sound like anything special since similar antennas already exist on the market. What appeals to the investors is the plan to create a product independant of subcontractors. Likewise with manufacturing technology, they also wanted to go there own way. Almost every production machine and test station should be their own design. This is a further step towards independance. With the product came the thought that the antenna should not be re-invented, instead it should stand out from the rest of the field through first class quality and design flexibility induced by customer suggestions. The flat antennas that are currently available have problems with both their life-expectancy - they are not always weather-proof - and with uniform gain across the entire Ku-Band. Specialists and Investors joined forces and the result was the formation of the internationally reknowned company ATTISAT Satellite Systems. They are strategically located between the city center and the airport in Athens where the Flat antenna is produced. Over three years have passed since this company was formed. Their antenna has gained recognition in the market and the plan is to ramp up production to about 200,000 per year. The investors, who have thus far contributed nearly 1,000,000 Euros to this effort, have not regretted their decision. In a modern building, the FL 500 is manually assembled using a cleverly designed system. Through the use of special markings on each piece, mistakes

have been virtually eliminated. At the end of the production line, every antenna must undergo a thorough test. Various satellites from around the world can be simulated with signal generators. If an antenna does not perform as expected, it is removed, dismantled and analysed to determine “why” so that the same fault does not occur again in the future. Team spirit among the employees is a major reason why they can ship a quality product. None of them have an 8 to 5 job, instead, the hours they work

are based on the daily requirments. Delivery problems have been for the most part eliminated. ATTISAT is also involved in the developement of V-Sat systems, the manufacture of microwave devices and the developement and production of RX/TX outdoor systems for Internet/Multimedia via satellite. They also have their own R&D (Research and Development) department whose function is to handle developement contracts from customers in the Satcom industry.
